Everton predicted starting XI gallery vs Crystal Palace - including a new role for Alex Iwobi

Everton predicted team ahead of their Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace.

Everton are aiming to bounce back to winning ways when they welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park today (15.00 BST).

The Toffees have suffered three successive defeats - against Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

That was a trio of games that Frank Lampard always knew was going to be difficult, though,

Now with four fixtures before the season pauses for the World Cup, he’ll be hoping for more positive results.

Lampard knows that Everton have to increase their attacking threat against Palace, having failed to score in their past two games.

The Blues will once again be without Nathan Patterson (ankle), Yerry Mina (calf), Ben Godfrey (fractured leg) and Andros Townsend (ACL).

And after the loss to Newcastle, Lampard could be weighing up changes to his team.

With that in mind, here is the Everton team we predict to face Palace.
